I have a bit of a different take on Litezupp.  There LEDs do seem to be
brighter than other tail lights, but only if you are in line with them.Â
I followed a TR6 with Litzupps in his tail lights and they seemed dim
unless you were directly behind them. Also, they lit up a spot in the
lens, but did not fill the whole area with light like incandescent
lights do. I found some LEDs that had LEDs pointing to the side as well
as straight out. Maybe they have changed something as this was a few
years ago.
Unfortunately, they don't seem to make them anymore.
I don't know about any of their other lights.
